O.K., this is all jacked up. The night I went, they didn't have a price tag up yet. I asked the most experienced employee there how much they were, and he said $79.99, and also told me "that is atleast %50 off from the price of other places", which is true. This guy was very confident, and was ready to check out right there for $79.99. Two days later, when I went back, they had changed the price to $179.99! I don't know if he missed the 1 on the price, or what, but he definately would have gave me one for $80. They are captive bred, because he had a care sheet, and in the corner, he had the contact info on the bottom, and it immediately said they were captive bred.
One more thing, that same night, I noticed a dieing Banded Gecko that was missing most of its toes, had all kinds of unshed skin, had mouth rot, was too weak to even stand up, looked anorexic(was starving), and was too weak to open its eyes. I immediately told him, and at first he said "it just shed". After he noticed its mouth, he said "well, its mouth doesn't look too good", and I said "yeah...". I asked if they would try to help it, and he said "we'll check how it's doing in a couple of days". Well, if I went back there right now, I wouldn't be surprised if GEX wasn't there anymore...if you know what I mean.
